Good morning. 63, going to 73, with off and on showers. We got some rain here, but I think other parts of the city got more. Quite a bit of thunder and lightning.
Didn't go to PT (I mean, not going), as my leg is really acting up for some reason. I just took two Tylenol (generic, but not sure I would spell it right!), so hope they kick in pretty soon. I didn't sleep much during the night, either. The hip bone on the right side is acting up, too. At least, both pains are in the same leg! I will be due for a nap a little later on.
I hope you all have a good day.
Leroy

Good Morning. It is trying to rain this morning but less than 1 tenth of an inch so far. The wind is so strong it is making lots of noise like tearing down the house. It is 52 degrees but will only get near 60 later. I got lots done yesterday but not so sure I will expect the same for today. Not feeling the best today so will take it easy. tomorrow I will have to move all the plants in the garage I have out so far. With this wind my geraniums are looking very sad and wind beaten. They say we might get some hail later today, but hail couldn't make them look much worse. Good news is they can only look better. If they don't, I will have a empty pot for something else. Well, I need to make a trip to the bathroom so you all have a good day.

Good morning Leroy and ll who follow.
Yesterday, Dave took me to Allegan. County Seat. Got my license tab. .Dave had not been there for a very long time. He lives down in vicksburg.
This smll town has completely revamped itself! ?When Jill and I were there a few months ago we got as close as we could to the down town to see the changes going on but streets were all blocked off and we could just see main street as dirt and heavy equipment. Well it is finished and it is really something! Very nice. the entire downtown has newly paved streets, all new sidewalks and parking lots new light poles etc. Everything looks white with all that concrete. I was so impressed. Like a brand new city! All of this includes the side streets as well.
Now they are building a Round about a few blocks away. I am really curious to see that when it is finished. could not get anywhere near that area. Five streets come into this intersection, it is at the bottom of a big hill and houses on one side, auditorium really close by and I cannot picture a Round About there but they are doing it!
Should be done in August. Hopefully I will be here to see that.
Leslie, in case you come here to read, I loved seeing those prom pictures of your beautiful grand daughter and her boyfriend. What beautiful red hair and dimples.
I need to get busy with things now. I have made ham salad for my lunch. My favorite sandwich.
Oh, I have Bonnie all groomed again for a few weeks. she looks so cute. Daughter Anne has four little dogs and she has always taken them to a groomer friend. The groomer had a stroke two months ago. She is home now but cannot work. I have been to her house and it is surrounded with flower gardens. I sure hope she can resume her active life again. she is so nice. So Anne has been trimming her dogs herself. I cannot imagine having four to do. bonnie is more than enough. I do her down stairs on my ironing board and she is so cooperative. Does not object to any of it. she is the perfect dog except when she is outside, she will not come when called. she just ignores me. she is nine years old so guess that won't change. I even have a dog whistle that she ignores. But..she has the sharpest ears! She even hears me pour a spoonful of milk in her bowl in the kitchen and her in the living room. She comes right out. She hears everything. Just not my telling her to come!

Good morning Leroy and Lair! Sunny and windy here today but think we hit 90° yesterday and 80°s all week coming up. Quiet day here…guys are mowing-not sure what or why. Computer is working great and am waiting for the maintenance guy to come check the outlet that the IT fellow needs to hook up some cord to speed up the internet. Think I will look thru some cookbooks and see if I can find a new recipe for pork chops. Enjoy your day.

61 here this morning and rain coming. I did go yesterday and get my haircut and Stopped at the grocery store for a few things. I am going to make some hamburger goulash today. Will share with the kids. I just would like. Something different. the restaurant at the state park I think is pretty old we always have our family reunions out there every summer. I have only eaten there a couple times before And the food is delicious. It is quite a distance. From where I live so I wouldn't be going out there often. I hope I get to see the baby today as I have not seen him since last week. I do like that, They send me pictures and videos. He loves his swimming pool . Leroy, sorry about your pain, You all take care

Early afternoon, Came in about 3:30 to make some lasagna, its in the oven. I have been outside most of the day, starting at 9:10, got the last of the stones raked off the grass, but will look and see how many I have missed, not tonight. I have cleaned one flower bed, all in 2 wheelbarrow loads, mostly leaves and sticks. Planted my 3 poor looking germanium, I not sure they will make it. Haven't done anything in the house today, but always tomorrow. Oh yes I did do a few dishes and I will clean the mess from making dinner. Its really wind here, so I also blew leaves out of the front yard where I have lots of flowers. Ray didn't cut any trees back today so I was on my own, didn't need to watch him on the ladder. Put fencing around my hostas as I know the deer will be looking for something to eat, Last night I had one project to do, cut back my Touch lily, in the process I pull a starter root out, so I planted that last night, will have to wait and see if that develops into a nice big plant. Sure hope so. Well the kitchen is waiting, so I best say goodbye.

Good afternoon. WE had some good rain overnight and the temps are not so hot today. Per the paper, we will have 4 nights with the low of about 36° so I will not be moving the plants outdoors. I started on the quilt blocks and some were so wacky, I took a break and sat on the deck, where I decided to get the hose out and wash the deck off (DH did not take any strong hints from me). It sure looks better but then my back hurt. I got back to the quilt blocks and ended up with 17 more. I want at least 3 more so I have 30 yellow ones. Next is the assembly line and PRAY they are the same size and fit together as they should!!!
I have some hamburger patties made up so we will have a cheeseburger for supper. Maybe some fries along with them. A storm moved thru and gave us a little more rain. The temps dropped and we are to get more storms tonight. That's the news from this part of the country!
Jan, you seldom see me because I usually post late in the day...I am off this week and next though so may get it done earlier.
Leroy, I hope that leg pain is not serious!
MaryinMichigan. so nice that Bonnie is a good one to be groomed...most don't care for it. I like roundabouts....I think they are convenient but DH hates them.
Off to make supper!

Just gonna sit down for supper. I haven't finished the baby blanket because I wanted to look for a different boarder pattern. Our internet went out last night at 10, so no looking for anything, and it was still out this morning. I could have look at youtube using my phone, but that's a way smaller picture to look at. Hubby called and they said it wouldn't be back up until tonight. I checked and it came back on right before we left for La Crosse at noon. Hubby had a dr. appt., so I went along. We needed printer ink so got that at Walmart. I also got to Hobby Lobby to get the two shades of green I needed to finish the rectangles. I was so ticked at myself. I went upstairs to check my yarn stash, and FOUND another full skein of the Minty green yarn. I wouldn't have had to buy that last skein to finish the blanket.
We hit sprinkles as we crossed the Mississippi River and got to the Minnesota side. We didn't get very far down the road and we hit pouring rain, and we had to drive in that the whole way. It was still pouring when we got home so we sat in the vehicle for 20 minutes waiting for the rain to let up so we could come inside. According to the rain gauge, there's at least 3-3.5" of rain in the gauge.
Well, off to eat my supper and I'll be back to read.
